Copying the URL of a Gadget doesn't work when I paste it into my Google Gadgets Editor

[Robb Price]

When you click on a Gadget that is playing in a Placeholder of your
Presentation, you can see the URL field which contains the URL
pointing to that specific Gadget. We always encourage people to copy
that URL into their favorite editing tool to see what they can change
around in the Gadget to make it their own.

Remember that a Gadget is an XML file, and when you copy that URL, it
copies a whole bunch more information that pertains to the custom
settings of that Gadget when it is playing in your Presentation, its
resolution, background color, etc. All that has to be stripped out
before you can open the Gadget XML in your XML editing tool.

For example, when I copy and paste a URL, it looks like the below:
http://risegadgets.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/RSS_Gadget/RSS_Gadget.xml&up_bg=red&up_murl=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2Frisevision%2FMrjT%3Fformat%3Dxml&up_num=10&up_duration=10

Since Gadgets are XML files, I only need up to the .xml portion of the
URL path, so all I need is this from the above:
http://risegadgets.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/RSS_Gadget/RSS_Gadget.xml

Once you put that URL into your Google Gadget Editor or preferred XML
editing tool, you can go to town on the Gadget!

Happy editing!
